Fabián canta

Very funny (and somewhat depressing) short film about the negotiation between the manager of a modest party hall and a potential client who wants to celebrate her father's birthday.

Review:

Winner of the awards for Best Short Film ex aequo and Best Performance (Ana Katz) of the Official Argentine Competition of # BAFICI2021.

Fabián (Germán Bermúdez) manages a party room. When a possible client (Ana Katz) arrives, who wants to celebrate her father's birthday, Fabián displays the virtues of the venue before her and shows her the shows that it is possible to hire, although there is one that is her favorite.

Fabián sings is an extremely funny short film despite (and because of) its undeniably depressing elements. Bermúdez is great, hilarious, in his role as a fearless salesperson who never abandons an absolutely realistic record and generates a very good counterpoint with the reluctant client that Katz composes.

Few screenshots, attentive to detail, reach the director Diego Crespo for a sharp description of the modest room, scene of the duel between Germán and the client and of the frustrated vocations of the administrator.
